Today I have a new technique that I tried a while back. "Acid Wash Nails". It's where you layer several different colored polishes and then take a Q-tip and dip it in acetone and go over the polish layers to create a cool design.
It didn't really turn out quite like I'd hoped. I think my layers were too thick so i didn't get the same effect that I'd seen around. It did turn out pretty neat though, don't you think?
The polishes I used were China Glaze Pool Party (bottom coat), China Glaze Sunshine Pop (middle/yellow), and the top layer was Julep Helena but when I put it over the yellow it turned it into more of a redish color instead of the neon purple that it really is. It kind of reminds me of fire.
What do you think? Have you ever tried the acid wash technique?
Looks good! I'm hoping to try this technique soon in the future!
ReplyDeleteI think it looks amazing!It reminds me a little of flames!
ReplyDeleteI actually really like this! Instead of using a q-tip try using a paintbrush dipped in acetone to get more of a washed out look :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the tip, I'll definitely try that next time.
